1. The Union army fought very poorly for the first year of the war, experiencing defeats at the First Battle of Bull Run and every other major battle up to the Second Battle of Bull Run. Despite the string of defeats, the Union Army was not beaten but was dispirited. Morale was very low. Most of the army withdrew to positions north of the Potomac River to regroup. Confederate President Jefferson Davis wanted to end the war, which he believed he could do in one of several ways: Defeat the main force of the Union army, take Washington, DC, topple the Lincoln government, or gain recognition from major European powers. Davis ordered General Lee to cross the Potomac and put pressure on Washington. As the Confederate Army drew near to the capital, the Union army was quickly organized to engage and the two armies met near Sharpsburg, Maryland, along Antietam Creek.

2.At the US Civil War Battle of Antietam, is was the tactics not the strategies that were employed. Confederate General Robert E. Lee chose his best tactic based on the fact his army was vastly outnumbered. His tactic was to maintain a defensive posture causing Union General McClellan no choice but to use offensive if he wanted to send Lee and his army back to Virginia. So, classical defensive and offensive battle tactics were used.

3. The southern army was blocked.

Answer: the second one: “work together to make just and equal laws”

Explanation:

The Pilgrims didn’t have the Native Americans in mind when they made the Compact, so the first one isn’t correct. The Pilgrims also didn’t have the Spanish in mind, and technically they were on the way to New England when they made the Compact, so they didn’t know whether or not the Spanish made a fort, so the second one is incorrect. Finally, the third one is incorrect because the Pilgrims were very strict when it came to their religion, and church was a must.

Read the excerpt from the story Westward Adventures:
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

A seems right, but Sally is the one who's optimistic in the story, not Beth, which means it isn't right.

B is not right because while the story mentions their grandparents, it doesn't directly say that they miss them.

C is not right, the story doesn't mention cookies at all.

D is right, because Beth directly says "I don't remember what Father looks like,"

I hope this helps
